At that moment, Natalie was playing cards with Keith and a few others. She was thrilled to be able to play this year.
When she saw her phone ringing, she felt a flicker of annoyance. Her three brothers hadn't sent her any New Year's gifts yet, and she was still waiting for her grandfather to give her one.
She picked up her phone and saw it was an unknown number. For some reason, she didn't want to answer.
Seeing Natalie ignore the call, Luna asked, "Natalie, aren't you going to get that?"
Natalie glanced at the number dismissively. "It's a number I don't recognize. I don't feel like answering."
Luna, knowing her well, said, "Just answer it, Natalie. It's the holidays. See who it is. Maybe someone's sending you a gift."
Natalie thought her friend was dreaming. Who would be sending her a gift at this hour?
Marshall and Matthew had already sent their gifts, and she had sent hers in return.
But she answered anyway, just to stop the person from calling her repeatedly.
"Hello!" Natalie's voice was cheerful.
Colin hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Natalie, it's me."
Natalie didn't recognize his voice. "Who is this?"
Colin's heart clenched. Natalie didn't recognize him. She couldn't even recognize his voice anymore. "Natalie, it's Colin. Your brother."
Natalie finally placed the voice. It was Colin Scott.
"Do you need something?" Natalie's tone was distant.
She was rather surprised that Joanna had let Colin off the hook.
Or perhaps, the time just hadn't come yet.
